I'm looking for a particular line over at risingupmods. The gist is Nic got transferred to the Atreus when he became a member of security. He dated someone during his first few years. The relationship didn't work out romantically but are really good pals now. The person in question can be male or female. If female, he could have told her he was gay and that things weren't working out because, you know, he's gay.
